CLT seminar: Staffan Truvé - Building a Web Intelligence Machine

SEMINAR

Recorded Future organizes open source information for analysis. Whether you’re conducting intelligence research, competing in business, or monitoring the horizon for situational awareness, the web is loaded with valuable predictive signals. Our goal is to help analysts across many industries make sense of the overwhelming information available on the web.

This talk will describe the ideas behind Recorded Future's web intelligence machine. We will describe the overall purpose of the system and its high level architecture, but focus on key challenges in natural language processing and analytics, and how we address them.
